My father once told me that there was a time in our home where the sky is blue, the birds flying freely in the clouds with no care in the world, and the children walking on the streets with cheerful smiles on their faces... waving their hands around in greeting to the elderly who would gossip around the latest news about their next-door neighbor. He told me to live the best I can without a clenched fist for my own survival, where I must not hurt anyone for my own life. The more I thought about it, the more I likely make myself think that it is all forgotten now in this day and age of flesh and metal. The smoke of burning skin and rotten bones waft through my nostrils as I watch closely at the burning pile of bodies while writing this blog, I've been told to keep watch in case that they move again like last time... the casualty from it can be devastating than the usual attacks we garnered through eight days of our clearing operation. Watch, wait, repeat... until the fire turn them all to ashes if father saw me like this... he would call me a murderer.

I am not sorry for who I have become, I did not choose this for desire... for I know that if I don't do something for myself then I would not get this far living out in this wretched forgotten world than father. Living is not as easy as it used to be without someone looking after me.

After all, does this place gave a merciful glance to those who are deemed filthy in their eyes? I guess not, that is why I am here.

"In the bustling city of Lumina Prime on the planet of Primitia, a pod of humanity seeks sanctuary from a galactic rebellion, only to face a new threat - a demonic invasion. Led by the determined Lysandra, humans and neighboring civilizations unite to defeat the malevolent demon lord, banishing him from their world. But victory comes with a sinister twist - some demons remain, masquerading as impostors, consuming identities to infiltrate human society. Yes, there are literally sussy impostors among us.... more>>

Enter Vernadette, a vigilante driven by grief and fuelled by vengeance. Haunted by the loss of her parents to the demon horde, she roams the city's shadowed alleys as the Scarlet Serpent, determined to purge Lumina Prime of its demonic infestation. But her solitary crusade yields little progress, and as hope fades, she finds herself at a crossroads. She's literally just like me(Batman) fr.

Damien, a downtrodden mobster trapped in a downward spiral, stumbles upon Vernadette's path amidst the chaos of a demon assassination. Their fateful encounter ignites a spark of purpose in both souls - Vernadette, seeking a way to pierce the veil of darkness shrouding her city, and Damien, yearning for redemption in a life marred by regret and betrayal. He's literally just like me(Loser) fr.

Bound by circumstance, Vernadette and Damien form an uneasy alliance. With Lumina Prime teetering on the brink of chaos, Lysandra grapples with the looming threat of the Impostor Epidemic. As tensions escalate and loyalties are tested, the fate of the city hangs in the balance.

As Vernadette's relentless pursuit leads her closer to uncovering the truth behind the impostor epidemic, she must confront her own demons and reckon with the consequences of her actions. With Lumina Prime hanging on the edge of chaos, the looming threat of Jerma, the demon general turned renegade, casts a shadow over the city's fate. Can Vernadette and Damien unravel the sinister machinations of Jerma before it's too late, or will Lumina Prime succumb to the darkness that lurks within?"

Okay guys, that's the synopsis. Now, we ball.

Sussy Baka Impostor Amogus Jerma. I know, brain rot writing style before GTA 6 fr. But yeah, all this, inspired by the whole sussy wussy Jerma impostor. Not like, copying events like Among Us games and that, just the elements of "impostor amogus" and names like Jerma will be incorporated, but generally, it's a story of its own. Btw, the name Jerma is from Jerma, but in no way represents him. Jerma fiction here is different from Jerma real fr, it's just names that are similar not their personality. I'll be making YouTube videos explaining our thought process soon, just search "The Ordinary Observer" then look for Yapping Sessions. So yeah, tune in, and that video will go live once the first chapter is published! Also, my boy, Rob, incredible work, great characterization. Him and I are in charge of the characters and dialogue, T.O.O. handles the plot. For parts that are serious, fr, and ong, that's all Robert, everyone. Amazing work from my boy, actually. Made me tear up sometimes especially on the Maverick mom part which was really tragic, but enough of that, LET'S START THIS ALREADY DAMN! Now, I recommend that you turn off your brain and just enjoy the story we want to tell :D

Also, vices aren't cool and they are very bad for your health. Do NOT imitate the people smoking in the story, very bad. If you already have a nicotine addiction, I recommend you lessen until you stop. Also, any gory subjects and pushy issues, don't do that in real life. They're there only to intensify the story, an artistic choice, and to make a statement that we are not playing HAHAHAHA

The Empire of Tsurina in the East and The Empire of Albine in the West have been warring for a mere two years yet the damage to both sides is palpable. The casualties are increasing, their resources are depleting at an alarming rate, and their people are beginning to lose their faith.

Seeing this, they decide to concede and instead strengthen ties between their nations with an irresistable offer: a royal engagement. It causes an uproar as there is no precedent for neither noble engagements nor royal engagements between the two empires–– they haven't even interacted outside of the war!

For such a political gamble, this is a risk that requires the utmost care and a cunning trick. An equal marriage is what they need, as all things must be, and in order to truly respect this alliance they wish to form. An illegitimate princess of Albine and an illegitimate prince of Tsurina are royally engaged to one another. All is not as it seems with the pair and their secrets run deep. Will they ever learn to trust one another? Will they prove the masses right–– that they are nothing but devils in disguise who seek to destroy the empires–– or will they crumble under the weight of this new responsibility? There is only one thing that we know: this marriage will not be easy.
